Mencius said, 'In the "Spring and Autumn" there are no righteous wars. Instances indeed there are of one war better than another.
'"Correction" is when the supreme authority punishes its subjects by force of arms. Hostile States do not correct one another.'~ James Legge translation via nothingistic.org ~
